A small build this time around, just pulling in the latest batch of community maps and a single fix!

Please leave your feedback in the appropriate place so that map authors and moderators can get a handle on community sentiment and so we can remove any problem maps.

We're looking to take a more "seasonal" approach to maps if we keep getting this high level of interest in mapping. The CTF mapcycle in particular is very large now (relative to game length) and we think that perhaps mixing up the cycle more regularly and maintaining a smaller pool of active maps could be most enjoyable going foward. We're open to opinions on this idea of course!

Thanks to all the map moderators and to all who submitted maps! Congratulations as well to those who got maps in game.

This build is more of a "back on track" build rather than anything particularly groundbreaking, but there's a few gems in there and it's important that we keep the backlog small and manageable.

One change should help ease water-related frustrations a little...

Here's a run-down of the major changes:

More flags in the National Flags Head Pack! As requested on the forums, the flags of Iraq, Syria (+Independence), Libya, Mali, Tunisia, Austria, Estonia, Lithuania, Georgia, The Faroe Islands, Greenland, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic have been added. Greece is coming next build. For those that missed it, you can pick up the pack on steam for the sweet sweet price of two bucks!

Community buttons! The community buttons at the bottom of the main menu have been retouched. The new official (fan-run) Discord server is linked, IRC is labelled as such, and the official forums get a link too. Come say hi if you haven't already! The buttons could use some dressing up but they're more relevant and nicely arranged than they used to be at least.

Sponge Buffs Water haters rejoice! As discussed on the forums, sponges last for 2 hits and reduce the stun time to 1/6 of a second.

AFK kick works on wall-clock time instead of in-game time. This should prevent afks from evading the kick in TDM.

Github Pull Requests Merged Thanks to Fuzzle for this month's community pull requests, and to makmoud98, AsuMagic and HkgStudio for their interest in contributing over on github!

The last few months there's been a few community-side shakeups as well:

Maps There's been a few more map moderators assigned who have been reviewing maps like crazy. Check out the map submission forum for more info, a sneak peek at the accepted maps, and to have your say!

Discord server rivalry Gamers seem to have embraced discord for their general-purpose comms, and the KAG community has been no exception. Multiple clan and unofficial discord servers had popped up. There's now an official (still fan-run!) discord in an attempt to unify this a little, with links to the more specialised servers there (clan discords in particular).

Next build will be about getting the recently accepted community maps in-game, and a bit of repo cosolidation - so that the pull request process is simpler for us and we can take more of them without hassle.

Have Fun!Max

Full Changelog for those interested:
[modified] new sprites for some missing countries - iraq, syria (+independence), libya, mali, tunisia, austria, estonia, lithuania, georgia, faroe islands, greenland, cuba, puerto rico, dominican republic
[added] new/nicer community buttons at bottom of main menu (discord link included)
[updated] engine with new apiclient stuff
[fixed] afk kick working in game-time vs clock-time (means that someone afk across multiple short games will still be kicked - think TDM)
[modified] sponge reduces stun to 1/6 of a second and takes 2 hits with water to destroy
[added] cant build on currently collapsing tile spaces (prevents wasting materials, as those tiles cannot be modified until the collapse is finished)
[updated] merged PRs from github: 'fzzle/quarters-include-fix', 'fzzle/duplication-fix', 'fzzle/boatshop-menu-fix'
[fixed] incomplete implementation of archer quiver going invisible when sleeping in quarters
[fixed] splash doing a double-hit for force splashes (was interfering with sponges surviving a hit)
[added] c_write_console_to_disk and c_write_chat_to_disk for disabling logging
[modified] logging doesn't flush to disk (prevents slow blocking i/o for every line)
[fixed] a few missing heads in vanilla
[fixed] tcpr security issue
[fixed] slow star rendering on linux (thanks Norill!)
[added] CMap::isTileCollapsing in various flavours
[fixed] GotoURL could "jam" on hitting esc in main menu
